Dreamworks will include Charles Mingus’s “Boogie Stop Shuffle” in its upcoming film “People Like Us” (formerly “Welcome to People”) starring Elizabeth Banks and Chris Pine. Directed by Alex Kurtzman, the film will premiere later this year.

Part 2 of Mingus’s 1964 Town Hall Concert with Eric Dolphy and Part 2 of Tyrone Guthrie concert “My Favorite Quintet.” (History: Charles and I ran out of money after releasing the first half of these concerts in 1965. The tapes have been in storage ever since.) The plan is to make this music available digitally-– and perhaps in a Mosaic box set produced by Michael Cuscuna– if there is enough interest.
